As I walked down the aisle toward the end with all the mages, something caught my eye.
“Hey stranger. Aren’t you a fine specimen?” The woman who greeted me wore an outfit that instantly warped me back to I Dream of Jeannie reruns when I was a kid. She had large, smoky eyes, bright blonde hair pulled back into a high pony tail, and a sheer pink outfit.
Oh baby.
Deep seated feelings I’d had as a child watching those reruns on Saturday morning while my dad mowed the lawn crashed back. There were certain things that defined your sexuality, and Jeannie was one of them.
“Hi there, what’s your name?”
She smiled, sashaying up to me, her hips swinging wide with each controlled step. “I’m Catarina. I’m the Defense trainer, and something makes me think you need some.” She wrapped her arms around me with a grace that gave me my second erection of the day, or was it the third?
“Defense, yes, that sounds good.”
She smiled. “Defense isn’t just about dodging and rolling to avoid things other trainers can teach you that, what I teach is defense against magical attacks, psychics, and other mind-altering magics.”
I gulped.
Defense:
Catarina, wants you to resist her charms long enough to learn how to defend your mind. How long can you hold on?

“So what do I need to do?” I said the words but they barely registered in my mind. I was swimming through my own thoughts and I didn’t know how to get out of it.
She smiled, pulling her sumputous body closer to mine. She arched her back and paused right before touching her bright pink breasts into my chest.
I groaned from the intrusion. My vision began to waver and I took a half step back to steady myself.
She wrapped one of her bare legs around mine, locking myself to her, then slowly, she ground her pelvis into me.
My world went black as I gave in to her seduction. My growing member betraying my ambition.
I needed to focus, to get out of her grasp. I struggled to swim, to breath, but all I could see in my mind’s eye was a picture of her. Bright, pink, seductive. She was the perfect woman, she was everything—
No. She wasn’t the only perfect woman. I replaced the image with Reina, her bright smile, and see-through dress clinging to her every curve. She was there, in front. The pink began to fade away and the brightness shining off her pure white dress brought a light to my world. To my mind.
The fog cleared and I could see again.

Catarina stood a few feet away, her arms folded under her breasts, an irritated look on her face. She refused to look at me.
Beside me, Reina took my hand, entwining her lithe fingers in my thick calloused hands. She squeezed and took placed a hand on my chest as she leaned in to whisper in my ear.
“I’m glad you thought of me, Yazen. I hope I’m always in your thoughts.”
